In-Vehicle Content Output Control for Passenger Availability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional voice information systems in vehicles fail to provide timely and relevant information due to waiting periods after user conversations, leading to missed opportunities for useful content delivery.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that acquires and controls content output based on passenger situations, using call information to obtain permission when conditions are not met, ensuring timely and relevant information delivery.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If voice information is provided after a waiting time since detection of termination of user conversation, then user comfort is improved (conversation is not interrupted), but information delivery timeliness deteriorates (information presentation time limit expires during waiting time)
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting conversation termination in advance and preparing content information for output. The output control unit is ready to immediately output content information once the waiting period ends, reducing the overall delay while still respecting user comfort by not interrupting ongoing conversations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the waiting time period based on conversation detection results. When conversation termination is detected, the system transitions from a state of waiting to a state of immediate content output, optimizing the balance between user comfort and information timeliness based on real-time conditions.
2Speed
If content information is output immediately when output condition is not met, then information delivery speed is improved, but user comfort deteriorates (interrupts passenger activities)
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses feedback from situation detection to determine whether to output content information. The output control unit continuously monitors situation information and adjusts content output decisions based on real-time feedback about passenger activities and conditions, balancing speed and comfort dynamically.
Solution Approach 2:
The situation information acts as an intermediary between the content information and the output decision. The output control unit uses this intermediary data to mediate between the desire for immediate information delivery and the need to maintain user comfort, making intelligent decisions about when to output content.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If content information is withheld when output condition is not met, then user comfort is improved (passenger activities not interrupted), but information utility deteriorates (useful information not delivered)
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary detection of situation information and prepares content information for potential output. By having content information ready in advance and continuously monitoring situation changes, the system can quickly deliver useful information when conditions become favorable, minimizing information loss while maintaining user comfort.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors situation information as feedback to determine when to switch from withholding content to outputting content. This feedback mechanism ensures that useful information is delivered as soon as conditions permit, balancing user comfort with information utility.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus (100a) according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit (132) that acquirers content information to be output in a moving object, and an output control unit (133a) that outputs the content information when a type of the content information meets an output condition that corresponds to a current situation of a passenger in the moving object. Further, when the content information is not output because the output condition is not met, the output control unit (133a) outputs call information for obtaining a permission for output of the content information from the passenger of the moving object in an allowable range in which output of the content information is allowed.
